She may have a smile on her face, But on the inside she’s hurt. She’s the kind of girl who keeps it all inside. Not showing her tears or fears. But she wants them to come out. She puts everyone before herself. She will lie and tell you that she’s fine. But all she really wants is someone to show her love.

She may look all peppy But on the inside she cries She's the kind of girl who keeps it all inside. Not showing how she feels But she wants so badly for someone to care. She puts everyone before herself. She will lie and say everything's great But all she really wants is someone to show her love.

She shows her love But in return she only gets despair For she gives all her heart Only for it to be smashed. She's tired of picking up the pieces. She will lie and say everything is great But inside all she wants is someone to care as much as she does.

Inside she's breaking But all you see is happiness Masking the pain She wants to let it all out But somehow she thinks it is better to keep it in. All her friends think she's great She will lie and say everything is great But inside all she wants is someone to love, accept and care about her for who she is.

She understands no one will care She knows that everyone just laughs At her pathetic attempts to be herself She just wishes everyone could let her be herself No matter whom she really is. Why can't they just accept her for her? She sits sadly on the porch, Looking at everyone that doesn't care.
